PURCHASING UTAH STOCK.
Colorado Men Investing in Utah
Horses.

There are several stockmen in our
county from Colorado. Among the
number is Mr.. A. T. Green, from
Canon City, Colorado, who has just
purchased a carload OF fine young
brood mares from the Grease
wood Farm. The FLIES are from
to years old, and most all the
colts are from Billy, half-si tiers of
Rarus, Jr., the horse that has proved
to be the fastest trO.ter bred and
raised in Utah. Among the number ID
Highland Mary, sired by Billy. and the
noted mare. Fanny, well known
in Utah County,. and the mother
of Utah's Maud s., who was trained
with and was a. match for Rarus, Jr.
Mr.. Green may be proud of his good
luck in obtaining such good lot Of
weli-bred FLIES for brooi mares, o
breed to his Kentucky Gold Dust anu
his Cleveland bay horse, Hard Times,
imported from England this year by
Jesse Harris. of Fort Collins, Colorado,
who has imported some of the best
Cleve'a I'd bays that were ever bred
in England. Mr.: Green is one of
tho. wide awake men who are improv-
Ing Inc SIZE OI Inc nam OlotOQl6Q morse
by cross with the Cleveland bavs,
which have size, bone and action, and
are suitable for this country. We ex-
pect we will hear from this Utah High
land Mary by TIE close of another year.
The price paid for this FLY was a little
above the average of other common
stock, which may bring her to the front.
Among the horse colts from Billy,
the noted Greasewood Farm stallion,
was Rarus. Jr., who sold for $4,000; s..
Julien, sold when colt for $3.50,
and is now, in Colorado. kept
for breeding purposes. We I'M
derstand that $500 has been offered
for him. Two colts sold to the late
l.. r. Ketchum. for 500; Selims, sold
to Mr.. j. q. O.. Glanfield, for q salts
factory price; Highland Mary. $500:
Billy. Jr., could have been sold for
81 600. The colts have had but very
little training.
Now will the farmers and stockmen
of Utah get up county and Territorial
fairs, train and show their products,
that we may find better market?
Mr.. Green, after staying at Provo City
two days. trying to ship his 8, was
| politely informed by the railr0., en-
that if he wanted 1 chute made t. II
bis stock on the cars, he might pay u
it himself or 20 to Springvilie. VIII, re
the enterprising agent had good cor
rxl aud chutes made. After waiting
there two more days. he got car and
shipped to Canon City, Colorado.

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1887-07-16

A most enjoya Die sociable was given
at the residence of DR.. j. j. Richard,
son last Monday night in honor of
Miss Eva Partee, of Batesville, Miss.
A large crowd was present aud all en-
joyed themselves until late hour.
The West Tennessee stock breeders
association met pursuant to adjourn
ment. ]. r. Harrison, pres, presi.
ding. The following officers were in
attendance: Jno. r. Tucker, vice
pres, A. W. Loving, treas, and R.
F. Haun, sec. The meeting was well
attended. Several members enrolled.
The regular routine business was trans
acted, and the association adjourned
to meet at Milan on Saturday August
9th. All persons interested in the
improvement Of our stock are re-
quested to attend.
The show has come and gone-fol>
ever, we hope. O'Brien's mammoth"
show exhibited to a small crowd here
last Thursday afternoon and night.
They advertised grand balloon
ascension but il failed to materialize.
1t was, undoubtedly, the poorest show
that ever stretched tent in Milan.
More than that, they were the dirti.
est, 6lthiest, meanest and roughest
looking set Of men that ever placed
their feet upon the streets of Milan.
All in all, it was humbug from be>
ginning to end, AND decent people
should not patrouize it.
